There you go. The employer is picking at something that's going to explode in their face. They had an obligation to report your girlfriend as an employee, pay payroll taxes and worker's comp. Paying her not to report her injury, and that is what this is, is worse than not paying comp. Failing to pay her on payroll will generate an audit and tax and penalty obligations if reported to the IRS and State. Your girlfriend's insurance company can go after the employer for reimbursement of the medicals they paid and there is a procedure which allows your girlfriend can treat the income she received as "net" payroll, meaning that if she'd been on payroll, her take home pay was $200 a week and she owes no income tax on the income she received.
So, like I said, no oral communication. Everything in writing and if the employer makes any more demands, send them a written communication (preferably text or email that makes it easy for them to respond) around February 15th asking when (not if) they are sending W-2s for 2017. I don't think you'll hear a peep out of them after that.
